The markets took something of a breather Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq taking a step back amid a lax day of economic news, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average punched in another high-water mark after its seventh straight day of gains.

Dow stocks edged higher fractionally, but the 14450.06 close still set a new record. The Nasdaq saw a 0.32% loss to close at 3,242.32, while the S&P 500 lost 0.24% to end at 1,552.48 — still within 1.5% of its October 2007 record close.

Lastly, Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) shares gained more than 1% on two pieces of news — Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) resumed coverage of the stock and issued a “buy” recommendation, and the company announced a new “store-within-a-store” concept for kitchen appliances.
